Netflix has released a new trailer for Squid Game, a dystopian sci-fi thriller that promises contestants a life-changing prize – if they can endure a succession of perilous trials.

The series is introduced with 456 people, all struggling with some kind of financial problems, invited to participate in a mysterious competition involving various traditional children’s games. Except they aren’t really games for children, or anyone for that matter. There can only be one winner in this battle royale-style tournament, with those who fail to succeed or outright refuse to play being violently eliminated. To the sole winner goes ₩45.6 billion which comes in at slightly over £28 million.
Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children’s games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits — with deadly high stakes.
